Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 161,000 MILES ON IT. BETWEEN DECEMBER OF 2019 AND APRIL, 2020, I EXPERIENCED 3 INCIDENTS WHERE IF I HIT A POTHOLE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, AFTERWARD THE PEDAL WOULD SINK LOW TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRED AGGRESSIVE EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON THESE 3 OCCASIONS, IF I PARKED THE CAR AFTER A FEW HOURS THE PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JANUARY 2020 ADVISING OF THE SAFETY RECALL (NOTICE # 19S54, NHTSA RECALL # 19V-804) STATING THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. WITH COVID-19 ABOUT, I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH. ON JUNE 30TH, 2020 A DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME PANIC STOPPED WHICH FORCED ME TO DO THE SAME ON A STREET WITH DRY CONDITIONS. AFTER 2 DAYS THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO ADVISED ME TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN. I DID SO AND DROPPED THE CAR WITH ERNESTO AT RED MCCOMBS FORD IN SAN ANTONIO, TX ON JULY 6TH, 2020. THE DEALER SUPPLIED ME WITH A RENTAL THROUGH ENTERPRISE.

ON JULY 22ND, 220, THE DEALER CALLS AND ASKS WHAT I AM DOING WITH THE RENTAL. I TOLD THEM THAT I OPENED THE ABOVE REFERENCED CASE WITH FORD AND GAVE THEM THE CASE NUMBER. THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS FACT. ON JULY 23RD, 2020 I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT FORD CLOSED THE CASE. I CALLED FORD AGAIN WHO ADVISED ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS DURING THE CALL THAT THE CASE WAS OPEN AND IN PROGRESS. FORD THEN TOLD ME TO CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT

RESEARCH SHOWED IN JAN, 2020 THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE HCUS THAT CAUSES BRAKES TO GO TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED AND OXMOOR FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED NUMEROUS TIME, BUT THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE FORD HAD NOT PROVIDED THEM PARTS. THIS CONTINUED FOR 6 MONTHS AND CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED. IN JULY AN ONLINE APPOINTMENT WITH OXMOORE FORD IN LOU, KY WAS MADE FOR JULY 13, 2020.
